Digitised pneumatics with the Motion Terminal

• Simpler engineering, commissioning and operation: the Motion Apps with their numerous functions replace up to 50 individual functional components, thus simplifying the design. There are far fewer part numbers and the system takes up less space.
• The integrated, intelligent sensors for control, diagnostics and self-learning tasks eliminate the need to integrate additional components in the system.
• Copy and paste: once the parameters have been defined, you can simply copy them over to other systems. The process of time-consuming manual settings and adjustment is a thing of the past – all drives are optimally synchronised.
• Accidental manipulation is ruled out.

• Significantly minimise your set-up time: set the parameters once and then use them over and over again. With presets there is no need to spend time setting new parameters manually during format change-overs.
• You can achieve maximum process stability as the Motion Apps always provide exactly the same parameters. They can regulate themselves if there are deviations and adapt independently to changes in conditions.
• Reduce cycle times by up to 70%, for instance with the ’Soft Stop’ Motion App. The smooth movement to the end position prevents wear-intensive vibrations almost completely, for example for tool changeover doors.
• Save up to 40% on energy while still making the cylinders up to 30% more dynamic thanks to the clever use of compressed air, for instance by selecting the right parameter set for each product and defining a lower pressure for the return stroke.
• Overall, you can achieve optimum modelling of motions with a highly customised combination of pressure and flow rate and also vary the speed of travel within a working stroke – for example when switching from speed to maximum force in a pressing operation.

• Improve the overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) by making decisions based on historical or current data.
• Integrate predictive maintenance into your diagnostics concept and analyse the process data made available by the sensors you integrated. This helps you to tailor your maintenance to the actual requirements and plan your maintenance cycles more effectively.
• Use the "Leakage diagnostics" Motion App to check your application regularly and identify potential leaks at an early stage. This saves you energy and costs.
• Increase reliability with traceability. Digital monitoring of all key process parameters enables convenient traceability for the first time – without the need for additional components.
• Optimise your system with the test functions. WebConfig allows you to check each motion in advance via the web server, independently of a higher-lever controller, and identify the performance limits of your system.
• Interface standards for Industry 4.0 thanks to OPC UA, using the CPX automation platform.

数字控制终端功能是通过控制终端应用程序和集成、灵活且可编程的处理器实现的。这种集成智能使系统比有线硬件更加灵活。现在可以在系统内进行分散调整。通信所需的带宽大大减少，同时控制和编程整个系统也变得不那么复杂。

断开：功能和硬件

数字控制终端配备了强大的处理器。由于集成控制器 [1] 和控制终端应用程序 [2] 中的这种分散式智能，气动功能首次实现了与机械硬件的分离。您可以通过应用程序轻松分配这些功能。此外，您现在只需要一个单一的阀类型，即可实现诸多气动运动。

集成传感器使数字控制终端中的阀智能化。这种新的灵活性使气缸等元件能够执行新的任务。可以非常个性化地建模运动，并非常有效地适应相关任务。这为您的生产带来了显著的性能提升，并且通常会降低您的成本，包括在您改造系统时。

带有集成传感器的桥接电路由四个比例控制的两位两通阀组成，在数字控制终端中创造了智能驱动器技术。压电先导阀和膜片式提动阀执行独立的增压和泄压的核心工作，。这意味着您可以在一个阀中实现各种常见的阀功能，甚至是比例压力调节或复杂的控制解决方案，如软停止。

内置传感器在智能、灵活、能够学习的系统中不可或缺。它们可用于适应环境条件或系统参数的变化，如气源压力的波动，或读取大数据过程的所有相关信息。

集成传感器 [3] 结合基于软件的灵活压力和流量调节，使系统能够自行评估和调整。这不仅节省了成本，还简化了整个系统，从概念设计到现代化改造均是如此。因此，在压制过程中，不再需要外部测压元件进行状态监视。或者，您可以通过更改过程参数来缩短周期时间，甚至在一个行程内。然后您也可以经常使用较小的气缸。

对于某些应用，可以通过独立集成的输入端 [4] 从外部传感器实时获取数据，从而实现内部控制。您可以用它来开发搭载气动装置的优化应用。

在现代化改造过程中，您还可以用它使您久经考验的现有系统变得智能和透明，经济且高效，从而使改造变得真正有价值。

数字控制终端可同时为您提供多个带用户界面的通信通道。调整快捷方便：直接通过以太网连接、网络浏览器、直观的 WebConfig 界面或传统机器控制系统的过程数据进行调整。我们的控制终端应用程序提供简单的功能配置，将帮助您加快调试、重新配置和系统适配。您可以通过传输通道读取数据。

开放的全球通信接口使 Festo 数字控制终端能够适应未来的开发，如软件服务和全球网络。您还可以使用 CPX-CEC 上的 OPC UA 接口来创建一个面向服务的架构，该体系结构是平台和制造商中立的，这是工业 4.0 的理想先决条件。

与此同时，CPX 总线节点 [5] 和大量可用的 I/O 模块为机器和生产网络中的通信提供了一个久经考验的标准。
